Do you have any questions ? We've got answers!

Is physiotherapy covered by insurance?

Many extended benefit plans cover all or a significant portion of physiotherapy assessment and treatment fees. To learn about your specific plans coverage, we recommend that you get in touch with your insurance provider directly.

Do I need a prescription or doctors referral to access physiotherapy?

No. Physiotherapists have been considered Primary Health Professionals since 1995. With this change physiotherapy services may be accessed directly without a referral from your physician. However, if you have an extended health care provider, the provider may still require a physician’s referral to physical therapy before reimbursing your fees.

How soon after my injury should I attend physical therapy?

If there are any immediate medical concerns, please see your Physician to assess these concerns and ensure that there are no contraindications to beginning physiotherapy. If there are no immediate medical concerns, or once any medical concerns have been cleared, accessing Physical Therapy immediately can help with an accurate diagnosis, ensure a proper environment for healing of your injury and prevent any delays in healing.
